A BIG SUCKER.
An Ancient Confidence Racket, the
Bogus Jewelry Act Practiced
Successfully

Bogus Jewelry Act Practiced
Successfully.
A slick confidence game, worked
few days ago on Mr.. August Hoppe, an
Innocent German baker, who resides at
600 avenue Il, by two sharp rRscals, de-
yeloped and became known yesterday.
A few days ago a stranger entered his
bakery and pretended he could speak
no English, speaking In q German
brogue only. Mr.. Hoppe converted
with him and the fellow said he was
sailor and had gotten out to San Anto-
MO accidentally and wanted to get back
to the coast. He had no money or
friends, and being unable to speak Eng
fish, could get no work. Mr.. II. Invited
him TO dine with him and felt great
sympathy for him. The man was intel
ligeDt and made himself so agreeable
that he was invited TO stay a few days
with the baker. He accepted, and re-
manned The third day the sailor (?)
pulled out set OF earrings and brooch
from his pocket. and after exhibiting
them to his coniiding friend, told him
they were Of almost priceless value.
He came by them while at
an East Indian port. The
jewels were bright and good
looking and dazzlei Mr.. Hopes eyes.
As they were looking at the baubles,
a stranger came up and appeared greatly
excited when he saw the jewelry, and
asked the sailor in English where he got
them. The sailor looked blank aud
Hoppe translated the question to him,
and the stranger, without awiting an
answer, said: an give him $500 for
them" Hoppe told the sailor what the
stranger had offered, and the sailor, after
n inHiainna ai0niuaH hia xuf In
ness to part with the jewelry for that
sum. Then the stranger told Hoppe to
tell him that he would go up town and
get the money and would return imme-
dIately. On leaving, he handed them q
card,with Mr.. L. Hertrburg's name on Ii.
This was pretty good guarantee In
ITSELF and the baker and sailor waited.
Soon the sailor said he would like to get
to Galveston by the first train and catch
sailing vessel. The train was now
nearly ready to start and II Hoppe want
ed TO clear $50. he would let him have
the jewelry for $3.50, and when
the purchaser came back he
could sell them for the $500 and pocket
the $50. Hoppe snapped greedlIy at
this chance and went 10 the safe where
he had saved about $500, intending to
take a trip to Europe this summer, and
phlu over tue SEOO anu the bhllOT lelI,
and has not since been heard OF,
although Hoppe has waited patiently for
his return, to explain the reason why
there was such diversity of opinion
between him and Mr.. Blumenthal, a san
Antonio jeweler, who priced the jewelry
at about 30 cents or one dollar. IL Is
needless to say the stranger who offered
the $500 to the sailor was his "pal" In
the game, and Of course did not return.
Mr. Hoppe will not go to Europe this
